How Do I Install Games on My Wii Using an SD Card?

Unlike many other video-game systems, the Nintendo Wii does not have very much internal storage space (that is, the amount of data that can be stored on the system). Thankfully, Nintendo provides a solution to this problem by allowing players to use SD cards to store downloaded games and content. Games stored on an SD card can then be transferred and installed directly onto the Nintendo Wii.
